The slice widget is a 3D analysis tool that can be used to reveal occluded content in a SceneView. The slice widget can be applied to any layer type, making it possible to see inside buildings or to explore geological surfaces.

The slicing shape is always a plane. When you click a surface or object in your scene, you create a slice with either a horizontal or vertical plane. The slice hides any content in front of the surface. The handles on the sides of the plane can be used to adjust the size, rotation and position of the slice plane.

Once a slice is created, layers can be excluded from the slice. For example, to look at interior elements inside a BuildingSceneLayer, the windows or furniture layers can be excluded from the slice widget.

The visualizations created using slices are temporary and cannot be persisted in a WebScene or in slides.
